¡Hola! I am an arts writer, editor, lecturer and film programmer.

I write regularly for Sight & Sound and ArtReview and I’m a member of the Critics’ Circle and the British Art Network. My writing has also appeared in outlets such as Another Gaze: A Feminist Film Journal, Alt/Kino, AnOther Man, BFI Online, Curzon Journal, Elephant, i-D, The Quietus, Notebook, Sleek, Ultra Dogme, VICE, Wonderland, and in various film-related books, academic journals and trade publications. I hold a doctorate in Film Studies from King’s College London, with a particular research interest in the connection between light shows, intermediality, experimental film and psychedelic art: the subject of my upcoming monograph.

As a freelance film programmer, I have curated film screenings for the British Film Institute, Open City Documentary Festival, Tyneside Cinema, Regent Street Cinema, The Horse Hospital, The Beursschouwburg (Brussels), Eye Film Museum (Amsterdam), Joe’s Garage (Amsterdam), and Mint Collective (Marrakesh Biennale). Over the last decade, I have participated in a wide range of cultural events, creative workshops, and international academic symposia at venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Close-Up Cinema, the Garden Cinema, Onoma Gallery (Fiskars, Finland), Muse Gallery, Rich Mix, the Slovenian Cinematheque (Ljubljana), Wolverhampton Art Gallery, and the Institute of Contemporary Arts (London).

I was previously Senior Managing Editor at MUBI, Contributing Editor for their biannual film magazine Notebook (issues 5-9), Contributing Editor of the Notebook broadsheet and Editorial Manager of their Companions zines. I have taken part in multimedia environments, artist collectives, and residencies including Fiskars Artist Residency (Finland, 2024), M.A.M.A. Residency (Marrakesh, 2024), and State O Research Residency at Flat Time House (London, 2014). A native Spanish speaker, I have done on-stage/written translation work for MUBI, Curzon, and Wotever Film Festival.
